' HOT-WATER RADIATOR;

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 14, 1908.

. Application filed Kay 14, 1907. I Serial No. 873,567.

To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, CHARLES HERBERT,

have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hot Water Radiators, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in hot water radiators, and it has for its objects among others to provide a novel im roved radiator of a portable nature designe to be electrically heated.

It com uses a radiator and a boiler in connection t erewithythe boiler being inclosed Within a casing and within which the heatin means is confined. The casing is supporte upon" a bracket adjacent the radiator and is preferably lined with asbestos or some suitable non-conducting material. The heatin plates are dis osed between the casing an the boiler an the wires for supplying the 1 known The current being turned on, the water is quickl' heated and being put in circulation, any dbsired degree of'temperature ma be maintained.

ther objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appear and the novel features thereof will, be particularly pointed out in the appendedclaimsi The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which, with the nu-' merals'of reference marked thereon, form a part of this specification and in which Figure 1 is a view of m improved radiator, partly in elevation an partly in section.

Fig. 2 is an elevation of one of the heating plates removed, with a portion broken away and a part in section, showing the connection ofthewires- I 1 Like numeralsofrefereno'e indicate like partszthroughout the several-views;

Referring now-to the details of the draw- :.1 designates a radiator of any suitable material, configuration and capacity, shown as supported upon suitable feet or su ports 2 and provided with-a draw ofi coc 3 by means of which the water may be'dr'ai ned radiator by means of the pipes 5 which afford.

from the radiator and the boiler, soon to be described, when'desired. I

4 is an expansion tank supported on the communication between the radiator and 'tank. The tank is provided with a jsuitable closure 6 as shown and is designed to be filled withwater in the usual way. v

7 is a boiler having communication at top and bottom with the radiator by means of the short connecting pipes 8, as shown. 9 is a bracket supported from one of the feet or legs 2 of the radiator, and adapted to support the casing which surrounds the boller, and the heating plates which are interposed betweensaid casing and the boiler.

10 is the casing, which is preferably provided with a non-conducting lining 11 of asbestos or analogous material. I It is supported, as above stated, u on the bracket 9 and is provided with a hoo 12 of metal made in sections bolted together, as at 13, for an obvious purpose.

14 is a slab of, slate or analogous material supported upon the bracket 9 within the cas-' slab 14 as they extend to the connecting block, as seen in Fig.2, 'and dotted lines in i mg and provided with a plug or connecting Fig. 1. When the heating plates are hollow as seen in Fi 1 the heating wires are disposed within t e same as shown in said .Fi 1.

I The operation will be apparent he parts being arranged as shownand the rad ator, boiler and expansion tank supplied with, water through the closure 6, the current 1s turned on and the heating lates soon be come heated, and imparting t eir heat to the boiler the water is soon heated and is kept in circulationin the usual way.

The advantagesof a radiator constructed as above described will be readily appreciated, and it is evident thatmodifications 1n the detail may be resorted to Without depart ing from the spirit of the invention or sacrificin any of its advantages.

at is claimed as new is v The portable hot water heating scribed, comprising a radiator, an expansion device detank thereon, a bracket supported at the bot- -and having a recess receiving the wires for 10 tom of the radiator, a casing supported on heating said means.

said bracket, a boiler supported within the In testimony whereof I aflix my signature, casirlilg'out of contact with the latter, andelecin presence of two witnesses.

tric eating means wit in t e casing an surrounding the boiler and out of contact with LHARIES HERBERT BURTON both the boiler and casing, and the water in Witnesses: said boiler and a slab of slate resting on said GUY O. CLEMENTs, bracket and supporting said heating means JNo. T. MCCOY.
